"Anna get the pizza from the front door!" Your dad shouted as the Russel family New Year Eve party was unfolding. More and more guests, family and friends were arriving and half of them you had never even heard of.
"I'm going one sec.. keys where are they keys.. got them!" You said making your way to the front door only to have your cousin and F1 driver George Russel to barge in front of you racing to the door.There was only 10 months between you both so you had grown up going to his kart races and sitting in the stands when you were free. George and yourself got on like a house on fire and over the past yiu you had been working in Williams as a physiotherapist for the team. You studied physio therapy at university and decided to take your final year as an apprenticeship with the Williams team. Being honest, the reason you got in was part of being related to George and they knew there would be a great understanding with you knowing what goes on during a usual day.
"Ow George! Watch your massive feet for standing in mine!" You said as he accidentally trampled your foot as he pushed past
"Sorry Anna but the boys are here!!!!!" He shouted and it was like an American frat party gathering.Two cars pulled up outside filled with lads around the age with George and yourself and you stood there like a cod fish gaping at them. It was as if vogue decided to send their top models to a party.
"Happy new year mate!" One of the driver was called. It was Lewis bloody Hamilton. You had seen him in the paddock but never seen him this close. Next followed Charles Leclerc, Daniel Ricciardo, Alex Albon, Carlos Sainz and finally Lando Norris.
All of them were in the UK for an event taking place after New Years so George has invited them all over to join the party you were hosting.
You were stood at the door holding it open as they walked in and all you could do was smoke and stare. Having worked in F1 for the past year you had obviously briefly met some of them or heard of them at least but this was a whole new experience. You were prepared to meet the celebs at the races but not in your own house.
The last two to walk in were Carlos and Lando, Lando brought Carlos as they literally were the best of friends and you had seen their shenanigans through the past year.
"¡Hola feliz año nuevo!" Carlos said walking through the door giving you a kiss on either cheek.
"Yeah same .." you said completely dazed
"Hi, I'm lando. Am I ok with my shoes on?" He asked
"Yeah of course don't worry" you replied after having him just ask if he needs to take his shoes off
"Thanks for hosting" he said walking off
"Yeah no problem..."What the hell just happened?!
Music was blasting and it was nearly 10pm and obviously the pizza wasn't what was knocking at the door. You took a moment to take in what had just happened but all you could think was all those men were in your house. YOUR HOUSE!
"George, I — I didn't know everyone was joining us" you'd aid pouring yourself a very large Malibu coke.
"Yeah they were here anyways so I thought better spend it together than alone." He replied. "Anna, leave some alcohol for the rest of us. Come on, we are playing beer pong in the conservatory" George said grabbing your spare hand that wasn't already holding your glass."Everyone this is Anna, she's my cousin and the physiotherapist for Williams at the moment. She's joining us in beer pong. Now lads, she's a little shy but she will whoop you at this!" George said basically throwing you in the room.
"Ok we need teams" Alex said as he started writing names on bits of paper to draw out.
"It will be teams of two soo.. first team is Carlos and Lewis. Second is myself and George. Then Danny and Lando which leaves Charles and Anna.""Hey nice to meet you, I'm Anna" you said as you stood over with Charles
"Lovely to meet you, you ready to win?"
"Of course! I don't do loosing." You said laughing
